Type and a Shadow

On the morning of our wedding day, Steven knew that all the formality made me really nervous. So, as I was being prepped by my sisters, I felt him settle next to me and take my hand. It calmed me all morning and through the day. What an amazing foreshadowing this was for me, he hold my hand and keeps me calm. What a miracle!

To Utah, To Utah

Once or twice a year the Idaho branch of our family makes the trek to see our Utah branch. We usually end up going for baptisms and because there are so many grandkids, we sometimes find ourselves going multiple times each year. Each time we pick 1 child to take with us, and this trip it was the boy's turn. They were absolutely perfect and very funny. I'm always surprised when their humor gets older. We had such a great time!

For the life of me I have tried to turn this picture, but it was just too cute to not include.

Happy Utah!

Warm Is Here

This Monday we headed out to the lake as a family. We had so much fun enjoying the sun and realizing that last years bathing suits are WAY too small, and that Mom needs to get on the ball!

We experienced amazing smelling sunscreen hugs, and the freshly bathed, tan babies.

We love the warm!

So, the other day when Steven came home I decided to take a break and go for a walk. 

When I came home, he had fed the kids and this was hanging in our kitchen. 

He literally couldn't be a better husband and father then he is today.

Soccer has begun...

Cooper started soccer today. How crazy. He wasn't very interested in playing and he was very nervous about meeting all the other kids, but luckily his Daddy was his coach so he held his hand through most of the game.

Yay for Spring!

Baby Zeke

Never has there been a more adorable chubby sleepy baby. We Daines love our baby Zeke.

Conference

This weekend I realized that no conference with kids was ever as easy as it was when Cooper was our only one, and a teeny baby.

But, it's so fun to help the kids listen and to impart to them the importance of what is happening. What a blessing that we have living prophets to give us guidance and wisdom.

(He's so little in that picture!)
